Gender identity has been a hot topic in the media recently, particularly when it comes to young children. To break down the issue for us we spoke to Elizabeth Riley, a Sydney-based counsellor, academic and clinical supervisor, whose expertise is gender identity in young children. Elizabeth explains why and how adults should approach this matter with understanding and sensitivity.
